I have been very bad at adding new polls, but that drought will soon be at an end as a feature is being added to queue up polls for the future instead of just doing big poll dumps once every 6-9 months. Should make things a bit smoother at least. For now, I was wondering how you heard about dakka?

**Mordoskul**

Found it from a large number of images that linked to the sight.

**Newt-Of-Death**

Yea same with me. Searching for images of models and painting techniques.

So pleased I did!

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

I voted "searching for something wargame related."
However Google is one's friend, so I could have gone with that option as well.

**Vasarto**

A friend of mine whom has been playing 40k since its beginnings has told me about it.

**Monster Rain**

Mannahnin himself told me about it at a tournament.

So thank him or curse him for it, depending on your politics.

**Mannahnin**

One of my gaming buddies got involved with this 40k league called "Dakka Dakka" down in Nashua at The Wizard's Tower, back in '99. He found out the guys also had a cool little website, with a bunch of photos. army profiles, and a forum where people posted to set up games, write fluff about their armies and battle reports, etc.

**WarOne**

I found it one fateful day when I was trying to find a forum for Warhammer that didn't suck or wasn't too confusing to navigate.

P.S. I hope one of my poll ideas gets picked.

**Jon Touchdown**

I used google and through forces of magic unknown was here.

A new poll, finally!

**Ledabot**

Typed tau warhammer into google. few links down was our fav website

**Viktor von Domm**

did a google piture search for warhammer 40k related pics as an inspiration guide...then i got stuck here^^

vik

**Wyrmalla**

I found it through google whilst searching specific 40k related thingies, ending up on modeling blogs etc, and also heard mention of it through other sites whilst doing the same web searching thing. =P

**Big Mek Dattrukk**

Was looking for Ork conversions, saw a couple of Pics from monkeytroll's Plog. been stuck ever since.

**micahaphone**

www.fightingtigersofveda.com (my favorite site for beginner's tactics for space marines) listed this place as "a friendly and intellectual forum for 40k". Just what I was looking for!

**Iratus Custodis**

Found it via google, can't recall the exact thing I was looking for, though it had something to do with 40K.

**Ailaros**

I played against someone in a game, and he was a regular contributor to Dakka (some may know him as Hellfury), and mentioned the site.

**Melkhiordarkblade**

I was looking at 40k conversions online,and I noticed tons where coming from this site.That's how I found Dakka.

**dark6spectre**

saw some kids in the year below me on dakka in our school's IT room.

**DeadGaurd**

Warmaster at my FLGS told me about it

**oadie**

Came across Dakka VERY early on, relative to my active interest in wargaming. Can't recall whether I was searching for images or info, but I got linked here, poked around a bit, lurked for at least a year, then started posting. I was lucky enough to find Dakka first, which saved me the trouble of getting established on another board and then switching over. From my occasional perusal of other boards, I doubt I would've spent (wasted?) nearly as much time or learned/seen/heard half as much.

**TheCapm**

I actually can't remember how I found dakka. Lol

**ZacktheChaosChild**

Found it on the Battlefoam site, actually.

**Cryonicleech**

Heh, now this is cool.

I was bored, and typed in the website name for lulz, and lo and behold it turned out to be an honest website.

**Asherian Command**

To be honest I found it by accident, I aboustely had no idea that forums like these even existed. And then I got taken away. And Loved it. I have yet to find another forum that is as entertaining. And it has also kept me away from Facebook which is great.

My first thread was people are killing warhammer 40k. And has yet to be beaten in epicness.

(4000 POSTS BABY BANG! I love that its 4000 posts now and that I finally have enough posts now to be considered elite when just last year I was considered a newbie

)

**Horizon9**

My history teacher saw me writing lists after class one day and told me "Don't worship the false emperor, or you will fail my class. By the way, ever heard of this website....."

**crazypsyko666**

Found in the raw, infinite power of Google.

**lord_blackfang**

How about an option for "been here way too long to remember?"

**Beer_&_Bolters**

I had just played Space Hulk for the first time, and had some questions. I did a quick search and Dakka was three out of the first five results. Ive been here ever since.

**Gorechild**

After months of googling 40K things and having Dakka come up almost every time I thought getting an account might be a good idea

**Howard A Treesong**

I think I found it while searching for other wargames things. Most likely I searched for something in google that led me to a project thread or the galleries, from which I checked out the site. I visited on occasion for about a year or more before actually joining.
